Rules

This year 2015 on May 17th the “INTERNATIONAL TELECOMMUNICATION UNION” based in Geneva, Switzerland, celebrates the 150th year of his foundation. To honor this important mark a special award called “ITU 150” will be issued to OM/SWL.

To apply for the award the applicant will work/hear on any band/any mode at least 50 countries among those listed in table A) during the period May 17 – June 17, 2015.

It must be said that all countries listed in table A) are not the same as those appearing in the DXCC Countries List. In this case we are talking of “States” not DXCC entities. This means that if you work/hear CT or CT2 or CT3 it always counts as Portugal, the same for IS0 and any I station they will both count for Italy.

No endorsement is available but the award will be numbered.

Being a short term award QSL cards are not required, making QSO is all that you have to do.

The award is free and will be sent in a PDF or JPG format file.

Application deadline : July 31, 2015.

Send your application via email to the award manager IK3GER,
